basically, the bill we will vote on fills many of the gaps in president obama's policy toward russia. for example, rather than ignore continuing human rights abuse and corruption in russia, my friends and colleagues, senators mccain and cardin, joined together with many others to craft a bill to help combat deep-rooted and institutionalized corruption within russia. this bill became the sergei magnitsky rule of law and accountability act. by the end of this debate, the american people will be intimately familiar with the name sergei magnitsky. briefly, sergei was a russian tax lawyer investigated by the russian government for alleged tax evasion and fraud. in reality, sergei was targeted by government officials for his role in uncovering tax fraud and corruption within the russian government. sergei was arrested and held for 11 months without trial. while in prison, sergei was subject to mistreatment and torture and was eventually beaten to death. unfortunately, such sad stories are all too common in russia today. rather than tolerate such injustice, my friends, senators mccain and ca
